Today, one of the world's greatest inventors, Nikola Tesla, would be celebrating his 158th birthday. For the occasion, one of the man's greatest admirers, Elon Musk of Tesla Motors, is donating $1 million to a Tesla museum project. You might remember that web cartoonist The Oatmeal (the alias of Matthew Inman), in his hilarious Model S review, made a plea for help to Musk.

The new museum is to be constructed on the hallowed grounds (to scientists and engineers) of Tesla's laboratory at Wardenclyffe in Long Island, New York.

Not only that, but according to the Oatmeal, Tesla Motors will build a Supercharger station in the parking lot of the museum. How fitting! No doubt many Tesla electric car owners will want to do a pilgrimage there, so why not charge up while at it?
